"It's pretty remarkable that anyone is able to write a work of fiction with Hitler as a character without totally failing, let alone doing an excellent job.
The difference between England and Germany in the 1920s, brought out by the landscape, the action, and the portraits of specific people, is paramount.
There's a bizarre, sporadic, black forest, fairy tale sort of tone that rises suddenly at the end of the book. It's a pretty clear contrast to the grim but much more innocent discovery of an English child's body in an English lake in an English forest at the very beginning."
"Both impressive and entertaining, Fox in the Attic moves from rural England to (mostly) rural Germany in 1923, as the German economy collapses further and further and royalists, Nazis and communists all struggle for power. But the focal point is a young upperclass Englishman, Augustine, whose life is, if not quite in turmoil, certainly not going well."
